    Brief

    The Council is seeking to appoint a qualified law firm to provide external legal services on a flexible, call-off basis. This role supports the Council's in-house Legal Services team by providing additional capacity and specialist expertise for specific needs. The appointed firm will assist with statutory functions, major projects, complex or high-risk matters, and time-critical work when internal resources are stretched. The arrangement is designed to complement, not replace, internal provision. The successful firm will collaborate closely with the Council's in-house teams under agreed governance and instruction procedures. The Council will maintain control as the lead on all matters and act as gatekeeper for all external legal commissions across the organisation. This is a strategic partnership focused on quality service delivery and seamless integration with internal teams.
